Mystery of Paul Sekeres, the man who walked out of his home and vanished

It was nearly two years ago that Sydney man Paul Sekeres, a married father
of two, walked out of his Kingsgrove home and vanished.

As the anniversary of his disappearance approaches, police say they believe
a number of people may know what happened to the self-employed concreter,
but are afraid or unwilling to come forward.

Paul Sekeres, a father of two, has not been seen since he left his home in
Kingsgrove almost two years ago.

Detectives have no idea if Mr Sekeres, who was 38 when he disappeared, is
alive or dead, but they are treating his disappearance as suspicious.

"We can't find any signs that he is continuing his life as he would have
normally, which gives us some concerns," Detective Inspector Paul Simpkins,
from St George police, said.

"We're unsure of his background and that's why we're seeking information
from any friends or acquaintances that may be able to shed some light on
his activities away from his family."

What police do know is that Mr Sekeres was last seen at his home in
Kingsgrove, in Sydney's south, on January 30, 2012.

His car was found a short time later in Narellan and police believe he
may have driven to the area.

The reason for that visit is unclear.

"We have no real information as to why he was in that area at the time,"
Inspector Simpkins said.

"He did work for himself for a period of time, but there has been no
further activity in relation to his business. We're not sure what he was
doing."

Inspector Simpkins said police launched an investigation into Mr Sekeres'
disappearance at the time and had been in contact with his family.

"They're obviously concerned because he's been missing for such an
extended period of time and have been assisting us in trying to locate
him."

Mr Sekeres is not believed to suffer depression or any diagnosed mental
illness, but little is known about his life away from his family,
Inspector Simpkins said.

"His background or his activities away from the family are unknown, so
we are trying to establish that information.

“We have received some useful information from the community to date.
However, we do believe there are a number of people out there who can
provide us with more information, the type of information that will help
us determine exactly what has happened to Mr Sekeres.

“If you know where he is, or what has happened to him, please get in
touch with us.

“We don't need to know who you are, all we need is the information you
have to hand. You can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously and your call
will be treated in the strictest of confidence.”
